The Sun. — London, England, 1838-08-29 00:00:00

LONDON : WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1838. It is now fixed, as will be seen by an advertisement in another part of our Paper, that a great meeting is to be held in Westminster on the 17th of next month, to petition in favour of the People's Charter. The High Bailiff of Westminster, having been requested in due form by his constituents, has consented to pre side, which well-timed acquiescence will tend, we pre sume, to preserve order and give both decorum and dignity to the meeting. It is by the Magistrates and the higher classes taking the lead at such as semblies that harmony is preserved, and it is by the Magistrates and upper classes wholly sepa rating themselves from the assemblies of the people, and scowling upon them with suspicion and defi ance, that discord arises in States. We think, there fore, that the Iligh-Bailif has exercised a wise discretion by enabling the advocates of the People's Charter to give a legal and constitutional expression to their opinion. The people will he anxious, we ate sure, to prove that they are worthy of the confi dence of the High-Bailiff and of the character for bider and moderation which they have acquired, and on this occasion conduct themselves with as much propriety as at the Coronation. They then merited the praise of all observers, and they will not show themselves less worthy of the rights they are to meet next month to obtain, than of the splendours of a pageant which, if it gratified, perhaps beguiled them. Some of our Contemporaries speak with apprehension of Mr. O'CoNNELL's new plan of agitation for Ireland, but that dwindles in our estimation into mere child's play—a rattle for the amusement of the leisure of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman—compared to the agitation which is getting up in England and Scot land. Some reference will be found elsewhere to Mr. OASTLER, who is obviously moving the masses in Yorkshire with a power almost equal to that of Mr. O'CONNELL. Following this agitation on ac count of the new Poor-law, comes the wide-spread scheme for procuring the abolition of the Corn-laws, and following that is the still wider spread plan for establishing the People's Charter. Eighty-nine towns it is said have already appointed deputies to a Central Committee to meet in London, and form a National Convention to effect this object. Such events as these seem to us to teem with most important consequences, and to demand the most patient treatment. An opinion seems to be getting abroad that Government is slumbering on a volcano, that society is ready to break asunder ail the artificial and legal bands which compress its mighty energies ; and though this be not true to the letter, we are sure that there never was a period when greater care is required on the part of our rulers in dealing with the people. Anything like a revival of the Tory scheme of coercion—any attempts which should strongly re mind the masses of the events of 1819—would, we be lieve give rise to an explosion. The greatest tenderness and caution are now necessary; and we think it our duty at once to impress it on the Legislature and on the Government, that they will commit a fatal error if they suppose that they are blameless for this state of things, and that they have nothing to do but to maintain by force the errors they have adopted. Such a course will expose us to ruin, as well as revolution. First of all, they ought diligently to inquire into the cause o f t hi s ge neral discontent ; and they make that inauiry with a humble and a right mi n d, t h ey w ill l earn t h at they are chiefly i n fault. We shall pursue this topic on other occasions, but let us now only remind them of the " Corn-laws." There is an instance of their setting a terrible example of seeking to uphold their own power, wealth, and dig mty, by an act of Legislation which is a gross infringe ment on the rights of property. Men understand the necessity of submitting to taxation to provide for the public security, but to have their food taxed to enrich landowners and titheowners, and to enrich the farmers— even supposing that to be the case, which we deny—can only appear to them a monstrous injustice. The land owners and the titheowners arc perpetually ringing in the ears of the people that they want to take away the property, of these landowners and titheowners, and then • they instruct them by this example how the property of other men may be taken away by means of an act of the Legislature. What wonder then that the masses, who pine with hunger and poverty, imitate the example of their instructors and superiors, and also seek, by getting into their own hands the law-making in strument, to have a quiet command over the pro perty of others, or a certain protection against aggres sions on their own. A number of •other errors, or even legislative crimes, committed since the Reform Act was passed are not unworthy of notice, but for the present we must content ourselves with declaring that the scarcity of food and the deficiency of em ployment, caused by the Corn-laws, are among the chief sources of the popular discontent, and that as long as those laws exist the Legislature will have no right to reproach the masses with either rapacity or violence. The readers of The Sun are probably aware that there is a person of the name of OASTLER, who has gained a certain degree and kind of notoriety by foam ing at public meetings, and railing in Tory Newspa pers, against the New Poor-law. This worthy has, it appears, acted for some time as Steward on the estate of Mr. THOMAS TIIORNHILL, a large landed pro prietor in the West Riding of the County of York. This gentleman (as would be seen by the letters which we published yesterday), has publicly charged OAST LER with " converting his money to his own use," and has discharged the " unjust steward" from his office. The dismissed functionary is now cunningly setting to work to indemnify himself out of the pockets of the people—such of them, at least, as he can delude—for the loss of his occupation. With this view he has given it out that he is a martyr to the Poor-law, that his dismissal by his late master was not owing to his abuse of the trust reposed in him, but to his opposition to the Poor-law Commissioners, with whom, he alleges, his master, who we believe is a staunch Tory, is in league to ruin him. On his de parture from the place of his residence, near Hudders field, on Saturday last, he got up a sort of cavalcade, consisting of some of the ignorant people whom he had imposed upon by his artful misrepresentations of the law in question, and proceeded to Huddersfield, where he addressed a mob in a highly inflammatory speech, after which resolutions were passed, very complimentary to Mr. OASTLER, setting forth the necessity of the services of such a man in the present emergency, and recommending a public subscription, out of the proceeds of which a freehold estate is to be purchased for the disinterested advocate of the rights of the poor. Not thinking this a sufficient " demonstration" of his energies and purposes, this Tory champion of order and submission to " the powers that be" after wards published an Address to the People of England, from which, as it is a curiosity in its way, we shall make one or two extracts : The duty of obedience to the laws is thus inculcated by RICHARD OASTLER:— " What, then, will you do, my countrymen ? Does any man of any party, of any creed, calling hitnself an English man, advise the people of England to obey the unconstitutional law made by traitors of the highest degree ?' What ! sub mit tamely to be governed by rebels of the blackest dye,' and call yourselves loyal, and boast that you are freemen ? h England so far sunk? I hope not. Ido yet hope that all is not lost. " Blackstone tells you, that 'when petitions fail,' your next right is 'to arm for self-preservation and defence.' Young informs you, that where the Government only is armed, there despotism is established.' Fletcher says, •to bear arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave.' And the law of England requires that every Englishman should be armed. And then Charles James Fox, having been taught, as he says, by Sydney, Locke, Saville, and Chatham, foreseeing that such legislators as Brougham might some day curse this land, says, ' I trust, however, that the spirit, the energy, the v'gour of the English character is not to be depressed, and that there will always be found in the country men bold enough to assort, ay, and to maintain al;o, that Kings, Lords, and Commons, uniting to compose a Legislature, may so conduct tliernelves as to justify resistance on the part of the people.'" The following picture of the landlords and the capitalists is by no :mans flattering ; whether it be correct or not we must leave to Mr. OASTLER'S friends and supporters, the English aristocracy, as far as they are concerned, to determine : " I have not mentioned the landlords, the stock-jobbers, nor the rich capitalists, whose trade is only in money. I now be lieve the tirst (the landlords) are so entraramelied, so blinded, and so far committed, that they will risk all, rather than ac knowledge themselves to be in error. The owners of the soil have forgotten that they are descended from the old English Barons' and old English gentlemen.' Their homes are n longer the castles and halls of their sires. Their neighbours are not now their tenants, or, as it were, a part of tiPmselves They live in London, or in Paris, or in Rome, and, by pur suing a course of life which their forefathers would have blushed to lead, they have lost the spirit of patriotism which associated their sires with their tenantry, are! at tached them to the soil of their native land. The : . have became effeminate, voluptueus, and altogether un- English. Their extravagance and vice have left them at the rmrcy of the Jew money-mongers; and their tenants are only row looked upon as so many machines, whose province it is, nay. who are crea'ed by the Sepr,ree th verner of the universe' only to raise from the soil so manv pounds sterling per annum, to be spent by the ounces of that soil in vain and demoralizing sensualities ; and when the labourers can work, and till, and sweet no longer, the B ,rons of England are now such fools as to believe that God has ordained them to be shut up in bastiles, and to be poisoned with skilly. The lords of the soil have thrown themselves into the same boat with the Jew jobbers; they have estranged them selves from the occupiers of their patrimony. The old baronial halls which once rang with the mirthful jollities of their fathers anti their fathers' tenantry, and where the poor were formerly invited to join in the festive scenes, arc now in the hands of strangers or menials, or are left to crumble and de cay, the hollow habitations of bats and ow}s I They have cut themselves off from the people, and arc strangers in the land of their sircei Yes, fellow-countrymen, such arc your English Barons of the 19th century—such are now your he reditary march of intellect' Legislators. They are oven who laugh to scorn, when it suits them, not only the rights of the people, but also the privileges of the Monarch. The second class (the stock-jobbers) have an interest diametrically at variance with land, manufactures, and labour; they are mere traffickers and gamblers in the; prosperity or adversity of the people ; and in the very nature of things it is impossible that men who speculate alternately on the weal and the wo of the nation can be patriots. And as for the third class (VI mere capitalists), their money is their God; it matters not how, get it they will, by any means and in every way, careless alike of the prosperity of the plough or of the loom. For these reasons I have refrained from addressing these three classes. a T n o d a a l gt all again producers ucersand l e gitimate distributors I have spoken , days of old, speak,when"stah y e i y ng th , a d t o fe a a s re t d thesaints he Lord God pa to another ;' b e assure d , fellow countrymen, th e s ame Divine Being who he ar d th em will listen to you ; the Lord will ke did often thene hearken, and hear your complaints ;' be assured that ` Ills ear is not heavy, His arm is not shortened.' " The last specimen which we shall quote of Mr. RICHARD OASTLER'S oratorical powers, and which may be regarded as the peroration of his discourse, in which he has concentrated, as it were, the pith of the whole matter, is to the followng tune. Whether it is a tune to which the Tories will be inclined to dance, is another matter. Here it is : " Perhaps ou would have the people petition. They have done so, and have been laughed at and despised, because they were not 'armed.' In such a case (when petitions fail) Black stone, a stout old. fashioned Tory lawyer and Judge, says, It is our right to have and to use arms for self-preservation, and defence ;' and he adds, this right and liberty it is our birthright to enjoy entire.' Now, I advise the people to have arms,' that there may be no need for them to use arms.' Ilowick would never have sneered at the petitions of the people if the people had been armed. The London police would never have invaded the provinces if the people had been armed. The churches would never have been shut against the poor if the people 11.. d been armed. The Queen's prerogative would never have been invade i if the people bad been armed. The Lords- Lieutenant, the Magistrates, the rate-payers, and paupers would Lever have been insulted, degraded, and robbed, if the people had been armed. No bastiles would ever have been built if the people had been armed. Only let the people now arm and a Poor-law Commissioner, his assistant, and his suer. ci nary tools of clerks, &c., will soon be as scarce as white cr ows. But if the people remain unarmed, then every sa cred and ancient institution' of Britain will be destroyed, lcea ndth in e the Commis_ land but that of the comm and we shall he centralized after the manner of infidel Fr ance, and there will be then i si n s o on p e o r s s v eorf no Police authority sioners of the Poor. Then will the glory of Britain be 4e. prted, the altar of the living God will be broken down by the ruthless hand of infidelity." We think that no one who reads these extracts —and they are a fair sample of the whole piece—can doubt that if Mr. OASTLER be not stopped in his career, we shall soon have a repetition, on a much more formi dable scale, of the scene which lately disgraced the neighbourhood of Canterbury. Between the chief actor in that scene and this ma❑ OASTLER there is a striking resemblance. We make room to insert a lengthy correspondence between Friend PEASE and Lord ASHLEY, because we presume that there are many persons interested in the reputation of these two gentlemen, and in the question which has given rise to the correspondence. Otherwise the communications appear to us as of in considerable importance, and to speak so much for themselves that they require no comment. Mrs. NORTON has addressed a letter, published in the Examiner, to the Editor of the " British and Fo reign Review," which we transfer to-day to our co lumns. It may, perhaps, be judicious to give a posi tive contradiction to some of the assertions of the Reviewer, and to take the opportunity of giving some explanations ; but she might have spared all other notice of the pompous, heavy, vindictive piece of jejune malice, which has called forth her remarks. It is stated in the German Papers that orders have been given to all the Poles sojourning in any part of Germany to remove to ten leagues' distance from their actual place of residence, in case the Emperor NICHOLAS, or his son, should choose to pass through it I So that, while the Autocrat disports himself by driving express from one capital to another, to the amusement and wonder of sovereigns and subjects, the unhappy Poles, who have suffered so much at his hands, are still to be the objects of his tyranny. Even in a foreign land, where he ought to have no controul, his presence is to be to them as a scourge and a pes tilence, and by command of the public authorities in the German states, great and small, they are scattered before him, on the odious plea that they may imbrue their hands in his blood. This is adding insult to oppression, and insult too which the unfortunate vic tims have no means of resenting. Owing to the strict censorship exercised over the Journals, they have little or no chance of being allowed a defence ; and any step they might take, not in strict accordance with the police regulations of these army-beridden countries, would subject them to immediate expulsion. The people of England and France have indeed reason to be thank ful for their constitutional governments, and may feel proud when they contrast their political condition with that of all the states east of the Rhine. In neither of those countries could such an edict have been issued against the Poles without exciting the utmost indig nation. The Senate, and the public Press, and the public voice, would have unanimously denounced such a despotic and unfeeling act ; and even at Warsaw the EMPEROR, under such circumstances, would be a more welcome visitor than at either London or Paris. Yet in Germany it is recorded as a matter of course— so is the banishment of four hundred young men to Siberia, or the army of the Caucasus ; and if the public papers are to be taken as a test of public feel ing, little more importance is attached to these deeds of cruelty than to the vagaries of NICHOLAS in his late visits to the German sovereigns. The germans, however, though a phlegmatic, are a kind-hearted people, and we can attribute this apparent apathy only to the wretched system of government to which they have been so long subjected, to vast standing armies, and to a shackled Press. King ERNEST knew the governments and the people lie had to deal with when he issued his edicts against the Constitution of Hanover. The Paris journals of Monday contain no political news of any interest. Almost every question of mo ment is overlooked in the importance attached to the birth of an heir in a direct line to the throne o f France. The health of the Duchess of ORLEANS improves so rapidly as to confirm the hopes enter tained of her speedy recovery. The Royal infant is " perfectly well." There is, therefore, no drawback upon the rejoicings at the Tuilleries—no dark cloud in the bright horizon which at present encircles the numerous supporters of the ORLEANS dynasty. Still, some unpleasant topics arc incidentally alluded to. The conduct of France, with respect to the final set tlement of the Hollando-Belgic question, has pro duced a strong feeling of insecurity on the Bourse ; and in enumerating Louts PHILIPPE'S claims to the distinction of being complimented by the Municipality of Paris as the " NAPOLEON of Peace"—the wearer of a bloodless sword—the Oppo sition Journals make some very caustic allusions to the Swis s quarrol, the Mexican blockade, the African question, the prolongation of the civil war in Spain, and the progress of events in the East. The II ketie of the 24th inst. contains an article on the required expulsion of Prince Louts BONA • PA RTE from the Swiss territory, which is likely to create a sensation in France, as well from the modera tion of its tone as from the closeness and conclusive ness of its reasoning. We can only make room for a short extract from it : " Lo.,lis Napoleon is a Swiss citizen, and amenable only to the Swiss laws and tribunals. Ilis pretended double quality of Swiss and Frenchman has no existence, and cannot be ple:ided by the French Government in demanding . his expul sion ; for, from the moment when he became a citizen of the canton of Thurgovia—and his having been so na t u ralized could easily be proved—he had, by the 17th article of the (, rench) civil code, forfeited his rights of a French citizen, that article being coacei%ed in these terms : " The quality of Frenchman is forfeited by-Ist. Natura lization acquired in a foreign country. 2. By the acceptance, without the Ki.ng's authority, of public functions conferred by a foreign Government. 3. By every establishment made in a foreign country, which excludes the wish or intention of re turning to France.'" " These circumstances settle the point at i,sue. Being. a Swiss citizen, and nothing else, Louis Napoleon was amenable only to the laws of his actual country. It was therefore to the judicial authorities of Thurgovia that the French Government should prefer its complaint. But of what could that Govern ment complain ? Tye affair of Strasburg? That had already been decided and punished by the King's transportation of Louis Napoleon to the United States of America, arid by the acquittal of the officers, his accomplices, by the jury of Strasburg. The pamphlet of L a it y ? N o, f or the aLthur of that work bad been tried by the Chamber of Peers, con victed, sentenced, and was undergoing his punishment. Was it the letter of Louis Napoleon to the German Journals? Jus tice could in that case be obtained by a prosecution of the editors." --- The only news which the Paris Journals publish from Spain is contained in the annexed brief extract from the Moniteur W e take from the Postilion of Geron a of the 16th, the subjoined letter The Government of Berga has abandoned the external fortification of the Street de Rosario • and as a proof of the little confidence that th e Carlists have in them selves, they have changed the garrison of the place. The last letters from the Biscayan provinces, and from Navarre, which are dated the 19th, in the evening, contain nothing in teresting ; there is nothing in them that indicates an intention of General Espartero soon to make an attack. The Pre tender had not quitted Onatc, and Maroto remained at Decas tello.' " FRENCH FUNDS. PARIS, AUSIAT 27. Five per Cents., 1111 55c. 40c. 31:e. Threw per Cents., SIM Sc... Sec. Jae.

The Naples Gazette of the 11th inst. contains a Royal Decree awarding the pu nishment of death to the principal in a duel who shall either kill, maim, disfigure, or seriously wound. his THE LATE FATAL DUEL ON WIMBLEDON COMMON. ADJOURNED INQUEST ON THE BODY OF MR". C. FLOWER MIRFIN. This morning the inquiry, touching the death of the above gentleman, who was killed in a duel upon Wimbledon Com mon, on Wednesday last, was resumed, at the Tankard, Kennington-road. Mr. Wagstaff, Surgeon, said he examined the body and found a wound on the right side between the fifth and sixth ribs, at which part a ball had evidently entered—it passed through the lower lobe of the right lung, thence through the pericardium, thence through the eighth auricle of the heart, through the middle lobe of the left lung, fracturing the filth rib, and lodging under the cintal muscles. A part of the clothing was driven into the wound, and into the cavity of the chest, between the pleura costalis and pleura pulmonalis. The wound must have been inflicted with a rifle ball. The death must have been instantaneous. Mr. Wm. Henry Smith, being sworn, deposed that he was a surgeon, in Marlborough-place, Walworth: On Wednesday evening last, about half past eight o'clock, Mr. Scott, the surgeon, called upon him in a very excited state, and requested him to examine the body of his friend Mr. Mirfin, who had been mortally wounded in a duel. They went to the house of the deceased, where they saw the body in the back parlour on the carpet. He was then dead. Witness examined the body, and found a wound on the right side, as if from a bullet, which evidently had penetrated the lungs. His de cided impression was that he died from the effects of that wound. Mr. Scott told witness that he was called upon to attend, as a surgeon, upon his friend Mr. Mirfin, who was going,* to fight a duel. Mr. Scott was not at all aware of the name of the person with whom Mr. Mirfin was going to fight. Mr. Scott told him that the name of the gentleman who was to second Mr. Mirfin was Broughton, hut he neither knew his Chris. tian name or his residence. Mr. Scott informed him that he ac companied the parties to Wimbledon Common. After the first shot the deceased was informed that he had been struck in the hat. He took it off and looked at it, but insisted upon having another shot, and that shot proved fatal. Mr. Scott informed him that he was called in as the mere medical atten dant upon Mr. Mirfin, and not for both parties. He did not in any way attend in the capacity of second. He said there were four pistols loaded with balls, and all were loaded alike. He was looking on when they were loaded. Mr. Scott was decided in saying that the pistols were fairly loaded. Mr. Scott has heard since the duel who the opponent parties were, but even now he did not believe he could recognise them. He was called upon on Wednesday, at one o'clock, and was to go out in the evening. By a Juror—lt was either the deceased or his second who waited upon him. By the CORONER—Mr. Scott told him that when the de ceased was struck he put his hand on his side, saying, " lam hit-I-I am a dead man," and that it was ten minutes before he died. By the Jury.—Mr. Scott, he understood, was in company with the deceased on the previous night at his own house, but did not accompany him to the saloon, and he was not at all aware of what was the origin of the fracas, nor did he know anything of the party except from the public newspapers. Mr. Wagstaff produced the ball and that portion of the de ceased's clothing, which had been driven into the wound. Mr. Charles Newman, son of the post-master of Regent street, said on Wednesday afternoon about a quarter-past three o'clock, a tall young gentleman whom he had never seen before, came to the yard and wanted to engage a carriage and a pair of horses to take to Wimbledon and back. Witness showed what carriages were at home, but he wanted something smarter, and witness said be could engage one from the coach-maker. He said that would do, and they were to send it at four o'clock to " Feuillard's Colonnade Hotel." He gave no name at first ; on being asked to whom it should be booked, he said, " Put it to Mr. Elliot." He gave no address. The carriage was sent. The post-boy was named Richard Cowling, and he was present. The person came to the yard alone. He could only recollect that he had on a green dress coat with metal but tons. Witness did not see the carriage return. He did not think he would know him again, for he saw him for a very short time. He was to pay the driver, which was the com mon way in their business. The post boy paid the money for the hire upon his return. Richard Cowling, the post-boy, said that on Wednesday last he had orders from Mr. Charles Newman to take a car riage to the Colonade Hotel. It was a half-headed ba rouche, and was to go to Wimbledon. At the hotel he took up three persons, and a little boy, who was servant to them. He did not know either of the parties. A carpet bag was put into the carriage by the little boy. He was ordered to drive to the Telegraph on Wimbledom-common, which he did. On arriving, he saw a gentleman's cab with two persons ; one of the gentlemen got out of the carriage and spoke to the persons in the cab, and then he was ordered to drive to the back of the windmill on the common. When he arrived there he let the gentlemen out, and they took the carpet bag away with them. The gentleman's cab followed, and then a street cab containing one gentleman came up, and they all went down the hill together. There was also a gig with two persons in it, and one of them went dealt the hill imme diately; the other (the deceased) stopped some time, talking to him and the street cabman. He afterwards went down. Witness did not know for what purpose they had come down, and he remained with his horses for a long time. The de ceased was talking of his hard trotting mare, and then he told them he was one of them who was going to fight the duel ; that was the first they had heard of it. He was then beckoned down the hill. He went to the edge of the hill, and saw them fire and the deceased fall. Between the two fires, he thought there were more than fire minutes elapsed. He was certain of that, and the seconds appeared to be in con sultation together. After the second fire, the deceased put his hand to his breast, and turned and stepped to wards the gentleman who came down in the street cab, who took hold of him by the arm on one side. He did not fall in stantly, but as soon as the parties got up to him he fell into their arms. The parties all left immediately, but the istsrgeon and the same three gentlemen, and another get- into the carriage. One of them brought the carpet bag up again, but he saw no pistols. He was ordered to get back to town as soon as he could. After they had started, the tall gentleman stopped him, the one who shot the other got out and said he would go back, let the consequence be what it might. He was prevented from doing so, and another went, and then they drove to Knightsbridge, where one went out and got into a cab, and drove towards Hyde-Park Corner. Witness had not seen that person since. Another took a cab at Hyde-Park Corner. - He was then ordered to the Edgware-road, where the gentleman who shot the other alighted, and the boy took away the carpet bag. The gentleman who shot the other paid him for the hire of the carriage ; when he paid him he said he hoped the young man whom he had shot would not die. Witness did not know that the man was dead when he left the ground, and it never struck him to give the other into custody. He was about three quarters of an hour on the common. He knew none of the parties, and did not hear any of thou named. The gtrelernan was dressed in a dark frock coat, and paid him two sovereigns and two half-crowns. James Maskell, a boy, said he was a groom. He went to live with Mr. Young for four days till he was suited. He had no regular employment at present, and went any where for a few days. On Sunday week last about twelve o'clock he went to Mr. Young, at Southwich-street, Star -street, Edgware road, to be hired. He was hired for four days. He did not know what Mr. Young was. Ile went to the Club-house, at the Colonade, in the Haymarket, on Wednesday last, with i im in his cab, when his master told him that he was going into the country, and would not require him ; but he would be back at half past eight o'clock, which he did. Richard Cowling, being re-called, said that that was not the boy of whom he hid spoken. That boy was taller. Examination continued.—He left his master in company with Mr. Gotobed and a Captain, whose name he quite forgot. He left his master at a quarter past five, and he returned at a quarter past eight. His master had a gentleman in his cab, but witness did not know him. His master had on a very loose green dress coat, with green buttons, and light woollen trousers, with a black hat and black stock. A gentleman re turned with his master ; whether it was the same who went out with him witness could not say. The horse was not sweating when he came in. After that his master and the other gentle man drove to several places, but they did not go into the Edg ware-road, nor did witness hear any conversation respecting a duel. The Captain's name was Elliot, but he did not know more of him than that he visited at his mas ter's. He was a tall young man, and wore a green coat like his master's. He did not see him at all on Wednesday. He did not know where he lived, nor where his boy could be found. He would know Captain Elliot if he saw him. Was not out with his master on Tuesday night, nor was he aware of the time he came home. Inspector Field then said he had no other witness, but Mei% Dunn, the wife of the miller. The CORONER said that as her evidence would merely go to identify the parties, the better way would be to postpone taking her evidence till they were apprehended. The facts of the fighting, of the infliction of the wound, and that the deaths of the unfortunate man had been caused by that wound had been fully proved. All they, therefore, wanted now was the parties who had been instrumental in causing his death. The inquest was then adjourned till Tuesday next, in order to afford Inspector Field time to look out for the prisoner. The Inspector stated he could prove Young, Broughton, Webber, and Elliott, all breakfasted together at Fs uillard's Hotel on the Wednesday, at twelve o'clock. The Coroner said the Inspector had better, for the present, retain any further information he might have and act upon it. Any person that he might have a reasonable suspicion of having been implicated in the transaction ought to be imme. diately arrested. REFORM ASSOCIATION.—The first anniversary of the above Association took place on Wednesday at Litcham. The barn of Mr. Carter was splendidly decorated for the oc casion. At the north end, the word " Liberty" was superbly set out in dahlias, and at the opposite end, " 'Aug live the Queen 1" was tastefully displayed on a banner. A variety of other flags and banners ornamented the place, amongst which were " Folkes and Astley," " Keppel and Independence," " Fitz Roy and Reform," " The Earl of Leicester," " The Independent Electors, " 10Purity of Election," Agriculture and Commerce," " Victoria, the Hope of the Country," " Prosperity to all Mankind," " Short Parliaments," " The Ballot," &c. &c.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1838 b adversary. RoMe, AUG. 14 —Among the effects of Prince Canosa, who died lately at Peruro, there were found autograph me moirs of his own life. The Government has sequestered them, and sent an officer, who has received them ? Will they ever be made public ? The accounts from the provinces are distressing. Several small towns in the neighbourhood of Spetelo have sustained considerable damage from earthquakes, while the town itself has this time escaped. On the 6th of this month a violent thunder-storm, with hail and rain, laid waste a district in the Adriatic. In some places, for instance in Fano and the neighbourhood, the hail-stones lay six inches deep in the roads. The damage done to the vineyards, the roofs of houses and windows, is said to be very great. The roads, as we hear, are in some parts impassable. The thea tre at Dinigaglia was destroyed by fire on the 6th inst. Nothing was saved, and two young men who had hastened to afford assistance perished in the flames. Unhappily it is sup posed that the fire was the work of an incendiary. MUNICH, Aco. 21.—The troops that are to be in the camp at Augsburg are to consist of eight regiments of infantry, each of two battalions, two battalions of Yagers, two regiments of Cuirassiers, two regiments of light horse, four batteries of ar tillery of eight guns each, and a division of Pontoniers, with twenty-four pontoons, the whole amounting to 16,000 men. CORONATION OF THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA AT MILAN.--.- They write from Milan, that the expense the inhabitants are putting themselves to for the reception of the Emperor is quite extraordinary. All the palaces and houses in the Corso Orien tate, the Corso de Servi, the Piazza del Duomo, and several other important streets, have been completely repaired, and ex ternally adorned, without any solicitation from the authorities. Notwithstanding that the heat is very great, the activity of the workmen continues, and they even work at night by torch light. On all sides bills of lodgings to be let for the coronation are to be seen, and the prices asked are excessive. A single room lets for 100 f. a night.':,The municipality have kept some large apartments for foreigners of distinction, which will be paid from 2,000 f. to 4,000 f. a week. A balcony, not capable of containing more than 10 or 12 persons, in the street where the triumphal entry will take place, has been let for I,ooof. for the occasion. A single chair, placed by the eastern gate of the city, by which the Emperor will enter, is let for a Napoleon for the first day of the ceremonies ; and a standing in a shed near the same place has fetched 150 f. A carriage and pair of horses for the day costs 400 f. Besides this stir at Milan, great preparations were making at Bellano and Bellaggio, where the Emperor and his suite were to arrive on the 24th, and from whence they would proceed by water to Coma. Each arrondissement bordering on the lake had fitted out magnificent boats for the occasion, some of which cost several thousand francs. They were to go in procession to Co:no, with music, illuminations, &c. AUSTRIAN FUNDS.—VIENNI, Aco. 18. Five por Cents. Metalliques Four per Cents. Three per Cents.

According to official accounts from Odessa, the Russian fleet has received during the present year 618 pieces of can non, cast in the foundry of Alexandrowski. From the dock yard of Nicolazeff, this year, has been launched four sail of the line. The general opinion at Odessa was, that the Emperor of Russia's intention was to put his fleet in a state to make head against the English, in case a war should take place be tween him and England. This morning we have only a French mail with the express from Paris, which is of a very meagre description in respect to Continental intelligence.

She states that the blockade was pre judicial only to French interest, and favours the adventurers of Havannali, in getting their ships into several ports of the Republic, as the French cannot blockade the whole of the coast, for want of light ships.
